举一反三
Animal experimentation is the backbone(支柱) of American research and treatment of disease. Each year, 17 to 22 million animals are sacrificed in the name of science.While 90 percent of them are rats and mice, 180,000 dogs, 50,000 cats.61,000 monkeys and 554,000 rabbits are done away with in Laboratories operated by industry and government.
But the public has raised an outcry over these deaths.Spurred vivid reports of cruelty, the animal rights movement is made up of 7,000 organizations with 10 million members.They"ve documented cases in which monkeys were isolated in steel tanks for 45 days and dogs were bombarded with radiation or chemicals until they bled from the mouth.
Scientists say such incidents are rare.I aws have been passed to govern testing.Many research centers now have committees to review all proposed animal experiments, and computers can be used in place of animals in many experiments.But scientists say they can"t do without animals to test new drugs and treatments on animals to make sure they"re safe for humans.Animal experiments produced vaccines or treatments for diseases such as diabetes(糖尿病), and techniques used in open heart surgery.They"re important to efforts to find a treatment for AIDS.
Animals rights activists have shown they will go to almost any length.One New York researcher received more than 10,000 protest letters following publicity other experiments in which she gave drugs to monkeys.The researcher was studying drug addiction.A protester was arrested in Connecticut for placing a pipe bomb outside a company that used animals in tests.After fires and break-ins, many labs have bought electronic locks and alarms for protection.Other targets of the animal rights movement are the fur industry, farms, and school biology classes in which children dissect(解剖) frogs.
The movement has scored some successes.A dozen states no longer allow pounds- places that accept dogs and cats that have no homes to sell animals to scientists.Scientists claim the cost of their work will rise as a result.
The battle between scientists and activists raises a basic question: Can modern society be both humane in its treatment of living things and advanced in its treatment of disease? It seems certain there will be new restrictions placed on the use of animals in scientific experiments.
62.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A.Mice and rats make the best subjects for experiments.
B.Scientific experiments can be carried out without animals.
C.Fewer animals should be taken to laboratories.
D.Americans are questioning the use of animals in experiments.
63.Animal experiments will probably continue because .
A.there are enough regulations to protest animals from abuse
B.they are critical for understanding and curing human disease
C.the groups that oppose them aren"t very big or powerful
D.scientists insist they are harmless
64.What do proponents (supporters) of animal rights do to convince people of their opinion?
A.They treat their own pets kindly.
B.They explode bombs at laboratories that conduct scientific tests.
C.They give examples of animals that were mistreated in labs.
D.They point out the diseases that have been cured by scientists.
65.The underlined word "outcry" (in Paragraph 2) probably means .
A.protest B.protect C.scream D.alarm
If you can speak English,you know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know—the language of the body, a part of what is called non-verbal communication. All over the world,people “talk” with their eyes. When Japanese people meet,they put their hands together. What do the American and the British do?
Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first name,they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable.
British people are more quiet. They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask you home.
When British and American people meet someone for the first time,they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends,and men kiss women friends(on one cheek only).When a man meets a man friend,he just smiles,and says “Hello”. Men do not kiss each other. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.
49.Body language is ___________.
A. the system of human expression newly invented recently
B. the system of human expression by means of words

C. all the body language in different countries is different
D. none of the body language in different countries is the same
It began as a game: high school and college students studying computer technology figured out they could use personal computers to break into telephone company computers and make free, long-distance telephone calls. These young computer gifts soon gained the nickname "hackers (黑客)".
Police arrested a few hackers, but many went on to even more complex hacking. One hacker was arrested for making illegal telephone calls and later used a prison phone to change a police officer"s credit records to get back at (报复) the officer for arresting him. The hacker also used a computer to change his college records to give himself better grades.
As hackers gained experience, they began invading computers at banks, airlines and other businesses. In one plan, a hacker instructed an airline"s computer to give him free airplane tickets.
The U.S. government is worried hackers may break into its complex networks of defense computers. The government"s classified secrets are vulnerable (脆弱的) because thousands of government computers are connected by telephone lines that hackers can tap into.
In November 1988, a college student tapped into a non-classified U.S. Defense Department computer network called Arpanet. The hacker injected (输入,注入) a computer program that left copies of itself throughout Arpanet. Some hackers use each "virus " to destroy all the data in a computer. But in this case, government officials shut down the network before the program reached every computer in the system. Shutting down the system angered many researchers who were using the computers. The hacker turned himself in (自首) to police and told them how to get his program out of the computer system. He was charged with a crime.
The incident attracted computer hacking in the United States. Many companies have hired experts to protect their computers from hackers, and many computer experts now advise companies on how to protect their computers.
The U.S. government believes foreign governments have hired hackers to try to break into top-secret defense computers. It fears a hacker could inject a virus into military computers that would clean up all the data during a war.
Experts disagree over whether a computer network can ever be safe from hacking. But in the future, some of the most brilliant minds in the U.S. will be working to ruin the efforts of computer hackers and spies.
71.The main idea of the article is that _______________.
A.computer hackers only want to make free long-distance phone calls
B.the government wants to hire computer hackers to spy on the Russians
C.computer hackers are a danger to private companies and government secrets
D.many companies have hired experts to protect their computers from hackers carrying viruses
72.A computer "virus" is like a human virus because it _______________.
A.makes a computer cough and throw up
B.spreads from one computer to another
C.can clean up a person"s doctor bills
D.requires regular visits to a doctor
73.A hacker can be dangerous because ________________.
A.he knows how to make free long-distance telephone calls
B.information is stored in computers, and a hacker knows how to destroy the information
C.once in prison, he can use a telephone to operate his computer
D.a hacker who steals a free airplane ticket might take a doctor of that seat on the airplane
74.U.S.government computers are vulnerable to a hacker because _____________.
A.the government always pays its telephone bills on time
B.the Russians know what"s in the U.S.computers

D.many government computers are connected by telephone lines
75.In the future ________________.
A.some most brilliant minds in America will be working to stop computer hackers and spies
B.hackers will begin invading computers at banks, airlines and other businesses
C.many computer hackers will be arrested for making free telephone calls
D.some computer hackers will turn themselves in to the police
The tradition of a turkey pardon at Thanksgiving began with President Truman in 1947. Courage comes from Ellsworth, Iowa. The name Courage was chosen by voters (投票人)who took part in a survey posted on the White House website. The lucky turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden and posed for the cameras at the presidential podium(讲台).
The dinner that has become known as the First Thanksgiving was actually a harvest festival celebrated in December of 1621. That’s when English settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, gave thanks for the progress they had made after a hard winter in their new country. As America grew, Thanksgiving customs also spread and got bigger. George Washington declared that the first national Thanksgiving would be on November 26, 1789. In the decades to follow, however, people celebrated Thanksgiving locally, with no official date. President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November 1863 a national day of Thanksgiving. It stayed that way until 1939, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved it one week earlier. He wanted to lengthen the shopping period before Christmas to encourage gift-buyers and to help businesses. So Congress(议会) ruled that, after 1941, Thanksgiving would be an official federal holiday falling on the fourth Thursday of November.
This year we celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday, November. Millions of Americans got together to give thanks with friends and family. The lucky turkey, Courage, was one of them. After his pardon, Courage would be sent to Disneyland Resort in California, where he would be the grand assemble of Disney’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

A.George Bush | B.Congress | C.President Truman | D.the public |
A.celebrate the harvest of British settlers |
B.celebrate the progress of Americans |
C.encourage the struggle with British settlers |
D.celebrate the joy of all Americans after a hard winter |

A.President Obama pardoned a turkey before Thanksgiving because of the economic crisis |
B.the turkey named Courage was pardoned by President Roosevelt before Thanksgiving |
C.the pardoned turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden on Thanksgiving eve |
D.the pardoned turkey will appear in a celebrating parade of Thanksgiving Day |
Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in colour and with a perfect “saddle curl”( 马鞍状卷曲 ), the Lay’s potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination. But its maker, Frito-Lay, thinks otherwise. “Potato chips are a snack food for the world,” said Salman Amin, the company’s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.
Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America owned by PepsiCo, and accounts for over half of the parent company’s $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated( 市场基本饱和 ), and to grow, the company has to look overseas.
Its strategy rests on two beliefs: First, a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to “global” as a concept. “Global” does not mean products that are consciously identified as American, but ones that consumers--- especially young people--- see as part of a modern, innovative( 创新的 ) world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know that Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company’s research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.
With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo. The logo, along with the company’s long-held marketing image of the “irresistibility” of its chips, would help facilitate the company’s global expansion.
The executives ( 行政主管 )acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism(帝国主义). Rather, they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. “We are making products in those countries, we’re adapting them to the taste of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives,” said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo’s chief executive.
72. It is the belief of Frito-Lay’s head of global marketing that _____.
A. People over the world enjoy eating their company’s potato chips
B. Their company must find new ways to promote domestic sales
C. The light golden color enhances the charm of their company’s potato chips
D. Potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world market
73. One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that _______.
A. products identified as American will have promising market value
B. local brands cannot compete successfully with American brands
C. products suiting Chinese consumers’ needs bring more profits
D. consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brands
74. Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned? ______
A. To suit changing tastes of young consumers.
B. To change the company’s long-held marketing image.
C. To promote the company’s strategy of globalization.
D. To compete with other American chip producers.
75. Frito-Lay’s executives claim that the promoting of American food in the international market ______.
A. won’t affect the eating habits of the local people
B. will be in the interest of the local people
C. will lead to economic imperialism
D. won’t spoil the taste of their chips
